Why October 18th Matters in Rock History

Guns N Roses Perform Live At Rock In Rio II - January 15 1991

It’s October 18th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:

In 1957, Paul McCartney made his live debut with the Quarrymen at New Clubmoor Hall Conservative Club in Liverpool.

In 1989, during an LA gig opening for The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Roseannounced it would be the band’s final show unless the band members “got their s**t together” and stopped using heroin. After the incident, his bandmates promised to clean up.
